I agree the original title for PIG-613 is misleading, I change it to the right 
one. Yes, 613 does not solve 1016, which mean to put any data type into map. We 
shall continue work toward it.

Subject: native types as value of map type? Re: Complex data types as value in 
a map function
- Hide quoted text -


well... I have this data:


[key#'1', b#'2', c#'3', key2#5]
[key#'2', b#'i', c#'m', key2#6]
[key#'3', b#'j', c#'n', key2#7]
[key#'4', b#'k', c#'o', key2#8]

and I run

A= load 'simple_map.data' as (m:map[]);
A2= FOREACH A generate (int)(m#'key2') as key, m;
dump A2

returning

(,[ key2#5, b#'2',key#'1', c#'3'])
(,[ key2#6, b#'i',key#'2', c#'m'])
(,[ key2#7, b#'j',key#'3', c#'n'])
(,[ key2#8, b#'k',key#'4', c#'o'])


I'm looking at PIG-613, but I guess the title is misleading. None of the
casting of value of map works in 0.5.0 I guess if PIG-613 works as
described, I would be in okay shape, because I would be able to cast again
and again using separate aliases...


PIG-613 not  what I meant for pig-1016, but it seems to get me the feature I
want.

> Hi, I'm trying to load a map that has a tuple for value. The read fails in 
> 0.4.0 because of a misconfiguration in the parser. Where as in almost all 
> documentation it is stated that value of the map can be any time.
> I've attached a patch that allows us to read in complex objects as value as 
> documented. I've done simple verification of loading in maps with tuple/map 
> values and writing them back out using LOAD and STORE. All seems to work fine.
